Question
Tony, hey!  I'm in Savannah, but lived in Baltimore from 1953-59.  I can name the starting lineup for the World Champion 1966 Orioles.  I visited Camden Yards a few years ago and got to shake Frank Robinson's hand.  (He said he played baseball in Savannah in 1955).  But, my question is.............. I can't remember but 3 of the 4 20 game winners.  Palmer, McNally, Cuellar and ?

It wasn't Flanigan, was it?  

Thanks, Thom  

Answer
Hello Thom,

  Don't feel bad about forgetting the fourth 20 game winner that year because Pat Dobson wasn't exactly your household name. In fact, 1971 was the only year in which he won 20 games. Also, the Orioles made a big push to help him reach that number as he pitched both the last game before the all-star break and the first game after the break.
